“…For instance, a recent pilot study found that elevated daily estradiol, when progesterone was also elevated, was associated with BE episodes in perimenopausal women [14]. Sleep disturbances and negative affect, both of which are common experiences of women during the menopausal transition [15], also are well-established risk factors for BE [16,17]. Additionally, psychosocial stressors, such as caregiving demands and interpersonal strain, may increase further risk for dysregulated eating behaviors, especially for women [18].…”

Binge eating among older women: prevalence rates and health correlates across three independent samples

Background Emerging research indicates that binge eating (BE; consuming unusually large amounts of food in one siting while feeling a loss of control) is prevalent among older women. Yet, health correlates of BE in older adult populations are poorly understood. The original study aimed to investigate BE prevalence, frequency, and health correlates in a sample of older adult women. Based on results from this first study, we then sought to replicate findings in two additional samples of older adult women from separate studies. Method Using self-reported frequencies of BE from three separate samples of older women with very different demographics, we compared BE prevalence, frequency, and health correlates among older women. Study 1 (N = 185) includes data collected online (86% White; 59% overweight/obese status). Study 2 (N = 64) was conducted in person at a local food pantry (65% Hispanic; 47% household income < $10,000/year). Study 3 (N = 100) comprises data collected online (72% White; 50% Masters/Doctoral Degree). Results Per DSM-5 frequency criterion of BE at least weekly, we found prevalence rates ranging from 19 to 26% across the three samples. Correlates of BE frequency included elevated negative mood, worry, BMI, and less nutritious food consumption. Conclusions Across three very different samples in terms of race/ethnicity, education, food security status, measurements, and sampling methodology, we found fairly consistent rates of self-reported BE at least weekly (19–26%). Results suggest that BE is related to negative health indices among older women and support the need for more research in this population.

“…The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that insomnia symptoms may moderate the relationship between PC and executive functions as assessed using a task-switching paradigm. This paradigm was chosen as a valid tool to study switch cost and backward inhibition in healthy and clinical populations, as documented by several papers from our group ( Ballesio et al, 2018a , b , 2020 ; Cerolini et al, 2020 ) and other groups (e.g., Sdoia and Ferlazzo, 2008 ; Couyoumdjian et al, 2010 ). However, in the present study, we found that while RTs were significantly slower in alternating (ABA) and switching (CBA) when compared to repetition (AAA) trials, reflecting the switch cost, the difference between RTs in ABA and CBA trials was not significant.…”

Insomnia Symptoms Moderate the Relationship Between Perseverative Cognition and Backward Inhibition in the Task-Switching Paradigm

Perseverative cognition (PC), that is, the continuous cognitive representation of uncontrollable threats, is known to dampen executive control processes in experimental paradigms. Similarly, PC has been shown to impair sleep and to be implicated in the exacerbation of insomnia, which may in turn contribute to the disruption of executive functions. The interactions between PC and insomnia in influencing executive functions, however, have never been tested to date. In the present study, we explored whether insomnia symptoms may moderate the associations between PC and disrupted executive functions, with the hypothesis to find a stronger relationship between these variables at increasing levels of insomnia. Fifty participants completed measures of trait PC and insomnia severity in the previous month and also completed a computerized task-switching paradigm assessing backward inhibition, switch cost, and accuracy. Prior to the task switching, participants completed a measure of state rumination in order to control for the effects of state PC on cognitive performance. Results show that trait PC was significantly correlated with higher insomnia symptoms and state rumination and marginally correlated with lower backward inhibition and longer switch cost. Moreover, insomnia severity moderated the relationship between trait PC and backward inhibition after controlling for the effects of state rumination; that is, the relationship between PC and inhibitory deficits was stronger in those with higher versus lower levels of insomnia symptoms. Findings suggest the need to better elucidate the associations between PC, insomnia, and executive functioning in clinical samples and longitudinal designs.

For example, some sleep deprivation studies were conducted outside of the laboratory, 24,27,28 and many confounding variables (eg, room temperature, noise, interactions with family members) may not have been well controlled.…”

“…Moreover, different task paradigms and lengths of sleep deprivation or sleep restriction protocols have been used in previous studies. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31] For example, one ERP study used the Go/No-Go ERP paradigm and found that accuracy of detection of the rarely occurring Go and No-Go stimuli significantly declined after 24 h and 36 h of continued wakefulness. Moreover, the amplitudes of both the Go and No-Go P300 components were also significantly reduced after 24 h and 36 h of continuous wakefulness, suggesting that sleep deprivation may not have a specific effect on inhibition.…”

Purpose Sleep loss impairs a range of neurobehavioral functions, particularly vigilant attention and arousal. However, the detrimental effects of sleep deprivation on inhibition control and its relationship to vigilant attention impairments remain unclear. This study examined the extent to which vigilant attention deficits contribute to inhibition control performance after one night of total sleep deprivation (TSD) and two nights of partial sleep restriction (PSR). Participants and Methods We analyzed data from N = 49 participants in a one-night of TSD experiment, N=16 participants in a control experiment without sleep loss, and N = 16 participants in a two-nights of PSR experiment (time in bed, TIB = 6 h for each night). Throughout waking periods in each condition, participants completed the psychomotor vigilance test (PVT), which measures vigilant attention, and the Go/No-Go task, which measures inhibition control. Results After TSD and PSR, participants displayed significantly slower reaction times (RT) and more lapses in PVT performance, as well as slower Go RT and more errors of omission during the Go/No-Go task. PVT deficits accounted for 18.0% of the change in Go RT and 12.4% of the change in errors of omission in the TSD study, and 23.7% of the change in Go RT and 20.3% of the change in errors of omission in the PSR study. Conclusion Both TSD and PSR impaired inhibition control during the Go/No-Go task, which can be partly accounted for by vigilant attention deficits during the PVT. These findings support the key role of vigilant attention in maintaining overall neurobehavioral function after sleep loss.
